Glaciologist, Web Editor

Getting an undergraduate degree in physics resulted in me being the only girl in a majority of my courses. Inspiring girls expeditions is helping to change that and that is why I am passionate about being a part of this organization. The combination of empowerment, mentoring, building relationships, discovering yourself and your potential both physically and mentally is a life changing experience.

As a PhD student at the University of South Florida, I study the hydrology of the Greenland Ice Sheet and how this impacts ice velocity through direct observations and modeling of the subglacial drainage system. When not working I enjoy my pets, rock climbing, billiards, and skiing.
